OK after 25 hour soak. It is time to start drying. I decided last night. That i would use my American Harvester dehydrator. So i added some liquid smoke to the brine. I was thinking about using my MES40. But didn't think i would have enough room on the racks.

I called MES last night and ask them to Over night me a MES 120 . They don't make a MES 120. That was thrown in for the people who ask. SHOULD I GET A BIGGER SMOKER!

OK back on subject for a while. I am using 12 trays with the dehydrator. Which is what they say is max. I do have 2 more trays. That i have used in the past. With no problems.

Now for the QVIEW

1 Here it is Just placed on the trays. I could have got a couple more pieces on this tray. The other trays are stuffed.

2 Here is the 12 trays stacked.

Now the clock is ticking.

My normal batch is about 10 pounds. I haven't figured the square inches of this on my MES 40.

How large of a batch has anyone done in a MES 40 or 30? I need to make some shelf slides and then get some more shelf's and Q mats

David my bone head threw away racks from an old dehydrator and could have kicked myself when i realized i should have saved the racks for the new one! I have 5 or so racks that came with it ans should have had atleast 10! UGH... thanks for reminding me!
